As a tool for this task, we have developed the net heat plot that displays drivers of the network estimates, plausible sources for inconsistency, and possible disturbed network estimates, illustrating its usefulness in several artificial and real data examples.
42 Inconsistent loops were examined individually for sources of inconsistency.
For the third source of inconsistency, stemming from the measurement of life-time earnings of the second generation, we have to rely on the usual assumption of association between annual and life-time earnings described above.
We used a random effect model and explored for sources of inconsistency (I) and heterogeneity.
Results indicate that the measurement error in sons' current earnings as a proxy for permanent earnings is a source of inconsistency even when fathers' earnings are generated.
Size and shape terms were a frequent source of inconsistency among curators.
Another source of inconsistency between studies emerged from statistical grounds.
We also seek to control for other sources of inconsistency in recall.
It has been demonstrated that standard diagnostic procedures for linear models can be used to identify influential designs in the network and to detect sources of inconsistency.
Some methods for detecting inconsistency in meta-analysis networks based on baseline contrasts are relatively complex on account of the fact that baseline treatments may vary among trials and sources of inconsistency have to be traced through loops of the network [ 3- 5].
